She Moved thu' the Fair Lyrics

Artist: Marianne Faithfull
Album: North Country Maid

My young love said to me, "My brothers won't mindAnd my father won't slight you for your lack of kind."Then she turned her face to me and this she did say:"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."

She turned away from me and moved thru' the fairAnd I watched her so swiftly move here and move there.Then she turned away homeward with one star awakeLike the swan in the evening moves over the lake.

Last night, I did dream that my dead love come in.So softly she entered that her feet made no din,Then she turned her head to me and this she did say:"It will not be long, love, till our wedding day."
